Here’s the stats: 26% of cities have makerspaces, and 57% of adults consider themselves makers.

For a 100 years, Kingsport has been a city of “Makers” and currently releases 2.5x the patents of Chattanooga. Providing a space where makers can collaborate on design ideas and fabricate products in the process of getting these inventions to market firmly establishes Kingsport as the city of the next generation of Jobs and Entrepreneurs.
